J. Kelly and the olllcets of Spring Rrook township from selling tho company's vacant lands for local taxes. The company, it will be rememberel, refused to pay local taxes on the land In question, alleging that It was tub ject only to state taxes, being part of its capital stock, because it was neces sary and Indlsponslblo to the purposes for which the company wns organized to supply pure water to tho public. Judge Aichbald declined to see th mntter In this light and gave Judg ment for the defendants. The company takes nine exceptions to tho Judge's finding, the principal on being that the extent of tho land nec essaty nnd Indispensable to the pur poses of the company Is for the com pany and not for the court. It is alleged court erred In not finding that all the land above tho Intake dam was necessary to tho purposes of the company, and In finding that It was unnecessary for the plaintiff company to hold these lands, and that being wild lands they would not be more use ful to tho company under the com pany's ownership than under any other ownership. Coutt further erred, It Is held, In not finding that If the lands were owned by others than the company, they wore llnblo to clearance and cultivation, and the water that would be shed from them would bo In danger of contamina tion. The exceptions also allege error hi the finding that the company Is lim ited. In this regnwl, to lands which Im mediately ihroiten contamination on 1 that It must confine Itself to special emergencies as they may ailse. Two Referees Make Report. Ry agreement of counsel, T. P.

HIS LIFE WAS EBBI1IO AWAY. From His Bedside Came the Newo Tlmt His Death Was Expected at Any Moment He Was the Oldest Member of the Lackawanna Bar. He Was Judge of the Mayor's Court of Thlu City Until That Office Was Abolished by the Legis lature. Judge W. O. Ward, tho oldest mem ber of the Lackawanna bar, was in an unconscious condition at 2 o'clock this morning, and his death was ox pected nt any moment. The venerable jurist tins been suffering from a gen eral breaking down In henlth and linn been confined to tils homo on North Sumner avenue for tho past two months. At different times he has rallied somewhat, but owing to Ills advanced nge the chances for his recovery dur ing that time hnve been extremely doubtful. His physicians and nurses have tieen constantly In attendance, together with his brother, Ron. 'A. A. Woid, of Patcrson, N. J.; Georgo S. Horn, his law partner, nnd Douglasa II. Ward his son. Tho Judge larsed Into unconscious', ness late yesterdiy afternoon nnd con tinued to sink gradually from that time. SKETCH OF JUDGE WARD. Hon. Walslngham G. Ward was ono of the best known men In Lackawanna and Luzerne counties He was a man of energy and honor, who, in tho duties both of pilvnte nnd public life, has ever been true and loyal. Ho was the oldest attorney nt the Luzerne nnd Lackawanna count) bars. It was a matter of pride with him that his for tune; was of his own making; his hands und brain were busily employed in Its upbuilding, as he had no othei- capital w hen lie started out In the world for himself. Scranton found In him a good citizen, whose public spirit piompted him to aid In every move ment for the welfare of the commun ity. Judge Wntd was boin In Dover, Dutchess county, N. Y on Oct. 7, 1819. His father. John, who was a son of Ichabod Ward, a native ot Massachu setts, a farmer by occupation, and on eaily settler of Duchess county, was born theie aid continued to make It his homo until 1S31, when he brought his family to Pennsylvania and settled In Tunkhannoek, Wyoming county. After resldlnrr on a ratm there for a time, ho came to Scianton, nnd cul tivated n farm in Providence tow n- shlp (now Scranton), where ho died In 1S47. His wife, Cynthia SIckler.wns born In Ruckmnn, Dutchcs-s county, N Y.; her father, Peter SIckler, a na tive of the same place, was the i-on of n Geiman, who emigrated to this country and settled on the Hudson. HIS EARLY LirE. The parental family consisted of nine children, four of whom are Uvlnc, oni son, Z. M , being a prominent attor ney of Patcrson, N. J. Judge Ward, who wns tho eldest of the family, was reared on a farm and received an acad emic education in Mannlngton acad emy, Susquehanna county, which h attended for three terms. March 17, 1843, he came to Providence township, and read law under J. II. Alexander and Judge Danay. In IRM he was nil, mltted to tho bar at Wllkes-Bane, and at once began to practice in Setanton, opening an oillce on Lackawanna ave nue, where he has since lemalned, having occupied the same office since 1S73. Judere Ward was at one time asso ciated with Judge Gunster, formerly his student, also with Judge Edwards, who studied under him, and Is now In partnership with George S Horn, also a student of the venciable Judge In earlier days. He was an attorney for derendnnts In nbout eighty homi cide cases, and Tor a lontr time hod tho principal criminal practice hero and In Luzerne county, but of late eais he found It necessary to lighten his labors. He was also very success ful In civil cases. In 1870 ho was elected judge of tho mayor's courts of tho city of Scianton, and including Dunmore, Providence and Hyde Park, and tho townships of Jefferson, Roar ing Brook and Madison nnd Covington townships. Ho served until the new constitution went Into effect In 1S7S, when he resigned. MARRIED IN 1S4S. In Now York state In ISIS, Mr. Ward mairled Miss Maria White, who died, leaving no chlldion. Ho was a feeond time mauled In North Adams, "Mass, In 1874, his wire being Miss Louisa Hurlbert, and they weie the parents of Douglas II Waul, who was asso ciated with his father In the practice of law. Tn former days Mr. Ward wns a Whig and before tho war he wns a campaign oiator for Henry Clay, rioni 1853 until the Rebellion he was a Democrat, but since then he lias ad vocated Republican pilnclples in io llglous belief he was a Piesb)terlan and for vears held the office of elder In his church, OBITUARY Ex-Alderraan Isaac L.
